Lauren Boebert Says Capitol Police May Have Been in on Riot, Takes Heat From GOP Colleagues for Tweeting Pelosi Movements On a House GOP conference call, Freshman Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert told fellow GOP members that the Capitol Police may have been involved in last Wednesday’s Trump-fueled insurrection and took heat from her colleagues for tweeting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s movements during that same attack. According to multiple reports on the contents of the conference call led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Boebert — a conspiracy theorist who tweeted in support of President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the election hours before the attack — told her fellow members that the Capitol Police may have been involved in the deadly incident. But Boebert has herself been accused of aiding the insurrectionists by live-tweeting Speaker Pelosi’s movements during the attack: With emotions still running high in the conference, there was at least one tense moment during Monday’s call. It started when freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) suggested the Capitol Police may have been involved in the riot. Then, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) — another GOP member who is weighing impeachment — confronted Boebert for live tweeting the speaker’s whereabouts during the Capitol siege, saying she put all their lives at risk. Another freshman, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), also chimed in, saying she is “disappointed” that the “QAnon conspiracy theorists” are not only leading the party, but also led the election objection effort after members had to walk by a crime scene to get to the House floor. But Boebert defended herself on the call, saying that was not her intent and asking her colleagues not to accuse her of anything.
These fucking morons. Every single one of them, for not being able to resist "Tweeting" I can understand it from the Millenials and younger...But what the fuck are people doing who are over the age of "reasonableness"? Good lord people, STOP SOCIAL MEDIAING! YES, I KNOW MEDIAING IS NOT A WORD! JUST STOP DOING IT, FUCKING MORONS!
GOP Senator Ben Sasse warned that the QAnon conspiracy theory movement is destroying the Republican Party https://www.businessinsider.com/qan...acy-is-destroying-the-republican-party-2021-1 Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska has warned in an op-ed in The Atlantic that the QAnon conspiracy theory movement is destroying the GOP. "We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them," writes Sasse of the GOP. Adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory believe, groundlessly, that a cabal of Satan worshipping child abusers control the world. Followers of the movement were on the front line of the Capitol riots, in which a police officer and a rioter who had shared QAnon slogans on social media were killed. Swaths of the GOP have embraced the movement, and Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has openly backed the movement. Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska has warned that the QAnon conspiracy theory movement is destroying the GOP in a blistering op-ed for The Atlantic. In the article, Sasse describes how devotees of the movement played a prominent role in the Capitol's January 6 riots. "The violence that Americans witnessed—and that might recur in the coming days—is not a protest gone awry or the work of "a few bad apples." It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the Republican Party some time ago and has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment, and cowardice," writes Sasse. He praises Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman for luring a mob led by a man wearing a QAnon shirt away from a chamber where senators and Vice President Mike Pence were present during the unrest. "We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them," he continues. "We can be the party of Eisenhower, or the party of the conspiracist Alex Jones. We can applaud Officer Goodman or side with the mob he outwitted. We cannot do both." The QAnon conspiracy theory movement arose on messaging boards 4Chan and 8Chan in 2017 and has gone on to be embraced by a swath of the Republican grassroots, praised by President Donald Trump and seen an adherent, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, elected to Congress. The movement believes groundlessly that Democrats and Hollywood stars run child abuse networks, which Trump is working to dismantle. Adherents who stormed the Capitol believed that they were triggering The Storm, an event in which they believe that Trump will mass execute his political foes. In the essay, Sasse describes Greene as a "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs." He ascribes the growing strength of movements founded on conspiracy theories to factors including America's "junk food" media diet, the collapse of faith in institutions, and a pervasive loss of meaning. He writes of a growing fissure in the GOP between Republicans who have backed impeaching Trump for instigating the riots and those who have refused to do so. Sasse is one of a small group of GOP senators who have openly opposed Trump's election fraud conspiracy theories that sparked the riots and has left open the possibility of convicting Trump in his second impeachment trial. Sasse said that many party colleagues privately said they were afraid of backing Trump's impeachment because they "believed a vote to impeach the president would put their lives, or the lives of their families, at risk," from hardline Trump supporters. Sasse calls for the party to show courage in emphatically rejecting the conspiracy theories embraced by swaths of the US right and for efforts to rebuild the party. "Until last week, many party leaders and consultants thought they could preach the Constitution while winking at QAnon. They can't. The GOP must reject conspiracy theories or be consumed by them. Now is the time to decide what this party is about," writes Sasse.
These senators should vote for impeachment and have their little kids carry around assault rifles for self defense.
